Although once poised on the precipice of competitive success, Clay Marzo's difficulties with large social situations (due to Asperger syndrome) made him choose the life of a freesurfer. He hoped to avoid the social pressures of the competitive life while focussing on his passion of surfing really, really well. However, freesurfing comes with its own unique set of difficulties.
After Clay suffers two back-to-back knee injuries, the global surf market tanks and his main sponsor Quiksilver is forced to drop him from their roster. Despite coming back as strong as ever, the man who was once tipped to be one of the best in the world is now unemployed and searching for a new direction in life.

"the surf industry [aka Surfing Industrial Complex] was trying to stay alive..." Oh c'mon!!!! Let's have some truth here - they exist to maximise PROFITS for owners and shareholders, and they'll crush anything and anyone that stands in their way. Aloha!
Quicksilver and the surf industry in general are pretty messed up, they are just like another company milking the surf, snoring coke and probably putting money on mansions and not single dollar in the places the world tour visits.
Finally i know what happened to my favorite surfer
Seriously? You're a pro athlete and can't perform because you get injured and you get upset when you get dropped?
You think the NFL isn't going to release a player who can't play because of an injury?
Man up, call what you had with Quicksilver a good thing, then move on and create something new or better.
Blaming corporations for making business decisions is ridiculous. If they didn't make these types of decisions in the first place they wouldn't make money and no surfers would be getting sponsored.
Asperges doesn't mean he's any dummer, he's just socially uncomfortable and does weird things
Exactly!
You lack knowledge of what Autism is. Liam the steroetype man!
cbcanada i get your point but most surfers keep their contracts if they are injured and need surgery. Clay didnt fit the mold Slater had created with quiksilver and it scared them because they would have thought "we arent going to make millions off this guy".
Surfing attracts a certain person just like football attracts its own crowd, I think quiksilver fucked up this time and will look to threaten Clay if he is too out spoken against them.
Quiksilver hasnt been about boardshorts and surfing for a long time. They pulled the wool over many peoples eyes with their culture domination and flooding the market with product but i feel they've over exposed themselves showing they are just another corporation trying to get in on something great to exploit it.
Pleasee,song of 1:40?
Top 5 or 10? He's probably still #1. Only Dane Reynolds comes close.
Retail demise you say as you charge 100$ for trunks. 25$ for a T-shirt. 15$ for a pair of socks. That's your demise. Marzo was the ultimate surfer who just wanted to surf.
They wouldn’t drop a CT surfer who gets injured
"Corporate" surfing. Contradiction in terms.
Poor "Plasticina March" he is a good surfer
'Some one put this dude on a retainer?'
Just reduce the salary give him a 2 years grace period.
im sure he still has fun why do we surf?
any company will drop you at the flick of a hat regardless of industry., this is real world stuff.
Top 5 or 10? Try Top 1-3 Best surfers!!!
Sorry folks. Any surfer that good would have been given tons of leeway and chances. I assure you it was his fault and a hard decision for QS.
I agree, business is business. Just the way it goes for all corporate industries. You perform at a high level or you are replaced. It's that simple.
I love your mom clay
Corporate America. The whole surfing industry is in sad shape
Poho dis Boi San..moa betta him go wook McDonald's place odea...😵
I have a hard time feeling bad for these spoiled brats.
Clay is not spoiled . He’s autistic and one of the best free surfers in the world.
